3M 7000031774 Buried Barricade Tape Electric Line

Product Description

The 3M 7000031774 is a buried barricade tape from the Scotch Barricade Tapes 300 Series, designed to mark the location of buried electric lines underground. The tape features bold 2-inch black characters printed on a bright background, providing a high-visibility warning message that remains legible to excavators and utility crews. It is an economical solution for identifying subsurface electrical infrastructure and is widely used by licensed electricians, utility contractors, and site crews performing underground electrical installations.

This buried warning tape is intended for direct burial applications where underground electrical conduit, cables, or lines require marking for future excavation safety. It is installed above the buried line during backfill operations to alert dig crews before they reach the utility. The tape reads CAUTION BURIED ELECTRIC LINE BELOW, which communicates the hazard clearly. It is sold by the roll and carries a minimum order quantity of 8 rolls, making it appropriate for commercial and residential utility jobsite stocking.
